So I found out on my own that Kalm with Kava .com delivers to Canada... so I'm going to be ordering 10 ounces of their concentrate. Anyone have any experience with this product or a similar one?
Yes. It's an excellent product. Pricey but probably worth it. It tastes good.
It is made from kava, but it is not kava and you won't be "drinking kava." It's still great, though, I love their concentrate. But at $2.00 a serving it is a lot pricier than the 40 cents a serving I get with medium grind.
Drink one of those and it will taste like a pleasant fruit-based drink and will give the pleasant sensations most similarly approximated by a single serving of good scotch whiskey. Unlike with whiskey, where if you have another you will feel like you had two whiskeys, then another three, etc, after this concentrate drink wears off, you can have another and it will feel like ...... you just had a single shot of good whiskey. It doesn't accumulate. This can be a good thing, but it also means it's probably the exact opposite of what you seem to be looking for, i.e. to get wasted, which is virtually impossible with that concentrate. great stuff,though, love it, and have bought dozens of bottles of it. If it were cheaper or I had more to spend on it I would buy more. I especially love to drink it when I am drinking grog, like make a double shell of strong kava and then a few minutes later drink one of those concentrate drinks. When you do that it's called a kalmikaze and I find it equisite. Now THAT would be what you are looking for, so my advice would be go ahead and have one or two shots when it comes, to enjoy it. But then stash the rest in the fridge for later, should keep for weeks, and enjoy it later when you get some good medium grind and make proper grog. I suspect you'll be glad if you do.
